DIY Boho Skirts For Your Throwback Look
Whether you call it boho, festival, hippie, gypsy, or peasant, boho style as we know it takes its influences from the laid back hippie looks of the ’60s, when maxis were de rigueur for the “flower child”. The look is said to have been revived most recently by Sienna Miller, who wore it in the movie Alfie in 2005 then continued to wear it and papparazzi continued to photograph her wearing it and women everywhere continued to want to get it, too. So says the Wiki machine. But we know it has always been and will always be the laid back look of a beautiful free spirit — and an easy DIY.
